The situation is much darker for the Christians in the East following the failed Second Crusade, which is to have disastrous long-term consequences for Jerusalem: Damascus can no longer trust the crusader kingdom.
In August 1149, the atabeg Unur had died, at which point the amir Abu Sa'id Mujir al-Din Abaq Ibn Muhammad finally begins to rule.
The ra'is of Damascus and commander of the ahdath milita, Mu'ayad al-Dawhal Ibn al-Sufi, feels that since his ahdath had played a major role in defeating the Second Crusade that he deserves a greater share of the power, and within two months of Unur's death is leading a rebellion against Abaq.
The infighting within Damascus is to lead to the end of the Burid state within five years.
